Step 1 Lead-in

【设计意图：通过创设情境，不仅可以对“free talk”中的第二问“狗是否需要衣服”有更深入的解读，并且可以引出关于服装的一系列生词。】

【设计意图：最后环节作为巩固，形式由对话变成小短文，不仅可以检测学生对本对话内容的掌握情况，也可以检测学生的信息转换能力。通过完成不同的教学任务，熟悉并巩固漫画内容，为接下来学习有关服装的词汇做好铺垫。】

教学反思：
首先我认为本节课学生的学习状态是非常积极良好的，准别充分，并且有求知欲望。其次对于新单词，我带领学生能够正确领读并且及时纠正学生不正确的发音。在合作讨论过程中，学生有独立思考时间并且足够空间开展合作讨论，学习目标达成度高。
本节课教学目标紧贴新课标要求，但是激发学生进行深层思考的问题还比较有限，对于学生的语言能力培养虽然有效但是深度还不够，还应该更多利用信息技术串联知识已达到师生深层次的思考和交流。
